So my grandmother was diagnost (Not Officially) with mesothelioma, but we believe it may be a tick born illness, due to the fact that three years earlier she went in and wanted tick born illness tests done on her, but found out that the doctor lied, he said that he had done them, but when she went in a week ago, she found that no such tests had been conducted. Then after told she ha mesothelioma, the doctor said that she could call for any questions, so she did and once again she was lied to because for two straight days none of her messages had been answered. So this made my family furious, so we swiched doctors, and her new doctor is doing more test, so What are the Chances of a pleural effusion in Borrelia burgdorferi, because we found out that people are being miss-diagnost this, while being tested for mesothelioma because it has all of the symptoms that she has right now, and she has nt had an official diagnosis(the old doctor just said she had it, from her symptoms. So What are the Chances of a pleural effusion in Borrelia burgdorferi, and how many americans have had pleural effusion in Borrelia burgdorferi( a type of tick born illness), and how many have been miss diagnost for pleural effusion in Borrelia burgdorferi. Also not to be snappy but I need actual numbers not just"it’s rare" or "it’s common"due to the fact that this is very important to me.

Also my grand mother lives in the woods of New England and raises goats, which are constantly getting ticks due to the overpopulation of deer in the area.
